BEIJING, March 28 (UPI) -- Talks between Beijing and Seoul will focus on the uranium enrichment program in North Korea, the South Korean government said.
South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan left Monday for talks with his counterpart in Beijing. Seoul said the meetings are to focus on the North Korean nuclear program, reports China's official Xinhua news agency.
